I created cookie as a parameter on IE and sent it to Tomcat. On server the parameter was transformed to a cookie and sent back to IE. Next time when IE sent new request to the server, the old cookie is part of Request (now it is cookie, nort parameter), so I can display this information to verify.
I also believe that IE just sent incomplete information to Server, only name and value. ________________________________ From: Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Tue, November 16, 2010 1:57:44 PM Subject: Re: Tomcat 6.0.29 Cookie.getMaxAge() always returns -1 regardless of actual value of maximum age -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Igor, On 11/16/2010 11:58 AM, Igor Barkon wrote: > I run Tomcat 6.0.29 on Windows XP and IE 8.0.6001.18702. > > I noticed that getMaxAge() method of any cookie always returns -1 even for > persistent cookie with real positive value of maximum age.

Are you checking the cookie you are generating on the server-side, or are you inspecting the cookie sent by the client afterward? Clients often do not send 100% of the cookie information back to the server with the request. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzi4jgACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBpNwCfY1sifVzpczJODgPtBVPOFHj7 vXYAn07z64NXN1UcAUpfAiii2nfLu9ba =j3LO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
